Hogwarts Castle
Upon entering through the huge oak doors, students find themselves in a grand entrance hall where the house points hourglasses can be found but the even more glorious site is the vast marble staircase. To the right is the great hall and the stairs to the kitchens and Hufflepuff basement
There are many classrooms scattered throughout its halls. Notably, Potions is located in the dungeons, Astronomy and Divination are located in the towers and Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, and Flying are generally located outside/in the greenhouses.
When Hogwarts was rebuilt, the Wizarding World opted to include an Inter-House Common Room located on the fifth floor. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw were returned to their towers, Slytherin remained in their dungeons and Hufflepuff went back to their happy hobbit hole near the kitchens.
The dungeons beneath Hogwarts are rather gloomy, sometimes there are rats scurrying about (and I don't mean the Slytherins). There are various empty rooms, the Potions classroom and the kitchens can be found down here.
Many corridors exist along the levels of Hogwarts where one might find such rooms as the Library, the Hospital Wing, the Room or Requirement, and much more, like the bathrooms! The corridors are often long and straight passages lined with suits of armor or portraits that talk one's ear off.
The most notable location in Hogwarts is the vast library will floor to ceiling shelving for books filled with all the knowledge one could possible ever dream off, and don't forget the restricted section.
Squawking, messy, and smelly, the owlery is where the Hogwarts owls dwell while awaiting letters to be sent home from students. The floors are often covered in feathers and bird poop and it's an unpleasant place to be since it has many windows for the birds to fly in and out and isn't very warm.
The hospital wing is a very important place within the school where the Hogwarts Healers help those suffering from the common cold to broken bones from quidditch. Lining the room are many single beds with curtains that can be drawn around them and at the back a small office for the healer.
The towers of Hogwarts; besides the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw towers, there's also the Astronomy Tower which leads to an outside viewing platform with large, expensive telescopes and warm cosy blankets to stay warm. The Divination tower leads to a circular room full of pillows and crystal balls, smelling like tea.
The Eventide Academy is an addition to Hogwarts with protective windows to prevent sunlight from scorching the vampire population within the walls. These students have private nighttime lessons with an instructor who covers all their mandatory classes. Staffing is based on the amount of vampire students.
Hogwarts Grounds
Hogwarts houses multiple courtyards around the castle which each hold their own charms. Students can enjoy the various statues, as well as the greenery and benches placed in these areas.
Rolling hills of grassy greens span outward to the forbidden forest and the lake and to the village. These lawns are well kept by the groundskeeper and home to many little critters scurrying about. Students enjoy lounging in the grass soaking up the sun. Be careful though, the Whomping Willow is nearby!
The Great lake, also known as the Black lake, begins at Hogwarts and touches down near Hogsmeade Village. It is home to many magical and mundane creatures including mermaids, grindylows, and the giant squid! Swimming is discouraged but kids do it anyway.
Forbidden for a reason, there are all sorts of dangers lurking beneath these thick trees which sucks the light right out of the world once one is deep within the forest. Spiders, centaurs, Acromantula, werewolves, anything one might fear could be in these woods.
